Observations of people culture in TW

1) How to identify other Singaporeans?
Ans 1a: When u hear "Eh go there sit with ur gor gor"
Ans 1b: When u press the lift for someone and you hear her say.. "Thank You"
Ans 1c: When people behind u says "Excuse me"

2) How to attract attention?
Ans: Do what my fren do, wear short sleeve tee-shirt when EVERYONE is wearing long sleeve in thick winter coats , windbreakers etc etc. As u walk along the shops, pple will turn and stare at u. Most extreme case shouted : "Eh 你穿短袖!!"

3) How to jay walk to cross the road?
Ans: TW roads jaywalking is a bit different from SG, cos you probably dunno which direction will have cars and which direction is waiting for u to cross the zebra crossing. Best solution is to follow another local, when they jaywalk, stick closely to them.

4) How to siam a crowded xmas nite out under heavy rain and 11 degrees?
Ans: Buy instant noodles + cakes + sandwich + drinks and nua in hotel room !!
